now, some people can't understand what the trade deficit is, some will, but the trade deficit is the difference between what america exports and what we import so what it really means to say that we're $500 billion out of balance for the rest of the world is that we're consuming more than we produce to the tune of $500 billion a year. the reason that's true is the only place you can get goods to consume is you either make them yourself or import them from someplace else. this is another way in which the united states is living beyond its means. now, those remarks were to try to get you interested. people don't usually pay money to hear me speak. i assume you are all at least somewhat interested. if you look at free trade, once you understand there's an issue here with the trade situation, if any of you got a wallet on you, pull out a ten dollar bill. the guy on the ten dollar bill etary of the treasury, ca the intellectual architect of american capitalism, one of the founding father, and an envowed protectionist as was abraham lincoln, as was virtually every president prior to world

spanish deficit was up to 10.6% of gdp. stephane joins us now live from madrid. >> there is no surprise. 10.6% of gdp. there's a reason behind it. it's the cost of bailing out the spanish banking sector. eurostadt did not give the details about the calculation, but without the cost of bailing out the banking sector, the deficit was 6.9% of gdp, which is higher than the 3% target set by the government, but of course that would be much lower than the 10%, for instance, deficit that we've seen in greece last year as a result, of course, the spanish debt is rising. it's now 84.2% of the spanish gdp. that's a sharp increase if you compare to the level before the prices in spain. and there's a paradox in that announcement. yes, we've seen some positive reaction on the bond market. the other part is that it will actually help the government to ask for more time to reduce its public deficit below 3% of ggdp. the new target will be 2016, two years later than expected, and that will give the government a bit of precome, a bit of marg
